The old prime minister has resigned for a long time.

This old man, who has played a very important role in the court for many years, could not defeat the power of time. After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took over the state, his health became worse and worse. He had to retire and leave the officialdom in the past few years.

But in the past ten years, the old prime minister has had a great influence in the court. At least among the civil officials, most of them admire this old prime minister.

Therefore, when the old prime minister, who can no longer get up and can only be carried into the hall, appeared in front of everyone, the hall finally became really quiet.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stood up from the chair and walked down. He still had some feelings for this old prime minister. When he first started to supervise the country, many things were taught by this old man.

Coming to the side of the old prime minister, looking at the old prime minister who was carried in sitting on the recliner, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stared at his cheek that was almost fleshless, looked at his lifeless eyes, and his eyebrows that were white and had few hairs. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's thoughts were complicated, but he finally spoke, "Old Master, are you here today to persuade me to move the capital?"

The palace was arguing over whether to move the capital or not, but it was obvious that the court officials who supported moving the capital occupied the majority. If these people were all for themselves, it would be fine, and things would be much simpler. But what made people feel troubled was that there were indeed some court officials who really considered the country of Daliang, so they proposed moving the capital.

Sometimes it is hard to say whether it is right or wrong, but there are always differences of opinion.

So His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very distressed.

The old prime minister listened to the questions of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and it took a long time for his cloudy eyes to regain some spirit. He was too old, so old that he might die at any time, so he might not be able to hear His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's questions clearly, but it didn't matter. Before coming, he had already made up his mind to say something, so it didn't matter whether he heard clearly what His Royal Highness said or not.

"Your Highness... Old Minister... Old Minister... I want to..."

The old prime minister's voice was very weak, and he couldn't finish a sentence at all. He just started this sentence, and he was panting a little tiredly. His state made people doubt whether he could finish what he wanted to say.

The court officials held their breath and listened carefully, not wanting to miss anything the old prime minister said. If he finally said that he was requesting to move the capital, then it would definitely be a good thing for those court officials who supported the move, because his prestige was very high, and as long as he said so, things would most likely succeed.

And those military officers were also very nervous, and they naturally didn't want to hear such words.

After a short break, the old man finally calmed down, but the court officials felt that a long time had passed and gradually became a little irritable.

People are always like this. When they are highly nervous, they can't tell the length of time.

"Your Highness... you must move the capital quickly!"

This time, the old prime minister tried to open his mouth and said what he wanted to say with the last strength of his life.

The voice was still not loud, but it was indeed not small.

The court officials heard it very clearly.

This sentence only had a conclusion, no reason. The old man did not say why the capital could not be moved, because to say those reasons, he would have to say a lot of words.

But the old prime minister could no longer speak, because after saying this sentence, the former civil official leader closed his eyes that had long been unable to see the world clearly.

The old prime minister passed away suddenly.

The courtiers in the hall looked at this scene and were a little absent-minded for a while. They didn't know whether they were sad or something else. Maybe they were just wondering why the old prime minister came here from his bed at home at the last moment of his life, just to say such a sentence.

Whether to move the capital or not had no effect on the old man, because he had reached the end of his life, but at this time, he still wanted to say this sentence, which showed that he was indeed only for the people of the world and for the country of Daliang.

His Royal Highness's face became very ugly. This was the ugliest time he had today.

The last words of the old prime minister in his life were very heavy, so heavy that His Royal Highness could not bear it, so it made him a little painful.

"Your Highness, even the old prime minister said so. I think the matter of moving the capital cannot be delayed!"

The voices of the courtiers rang out again in the hall. The words of the old prime minister were hurtful to His Royal Highness, but to them, they were a sharp sword and an extremely solid backing.

His Royal Highness did not speak.

"Your Highness, we must move the capital for the sake of the Chen royal family and the people!"

"Your Highness, you must not hesitate any longer. The northern Great Wall has already been lost. It is only a matter of time before the demons move south!"

"Your Highness..."

The voices of the courtiers who supported the relocation of the capital became louder and louder, but the military officers remained silent. They were not good at quarreling. Now that the prime minister's words came out, they had to think about whether relocating the capital was really the right thing to do.

However, at this time, no one noticed that in a corner of the hall, a courtier took off his official hat, rolled up his sleeves, and even did a move that a farmer would often do, which was to spit a mouthful of saliva in his palm and rub his hands together.

Then he took the palace lantern from the eunuch beside him, wiped the lantern directly, and the thing in his hand turned into a stick.

Holding the stick, he rushed towards the crowd. When he reached the crowd, he hit the loudest courtier on the back of the head with the stick.

With a snap, the wooden stick in his hand broke on the spot, and the courtier fell down, clutching the back of his head and wailing.

Blood flowed out quickly.

Everyone was stunned at first, and then someone quickly reacted, "Mi Ke, what are you doing?!"

The courtier who beat him was none other than Mi Ke.

At the beginning, he was just a small magistrate of Tianqing County, but now he has become the Minister of Household Affairs and a real important minister of the court.

No one expected that such an important official of the imperial court would do such a thing in the main hall.

"What are you doing? I'm beating you idiots. The people pay to support you, but you idiots are here watching those people die, and in the end you still talk about doing things for the people. What a high-sounding nonsense! It doesn’t matter what Mr. Zaifu said about moving the capital, he is just stupid, what’s the point of talking nonsense!”

While he was talking, he was not idle. He waved his stick and hit the minister of the Ministry of official affairs and the six servants. They were the real big shots in the court, but Mi Ke did not hesitate at all.

Looking at this scene, everyone felt that it seemed a bit ridiculous.

A civil servant was beating a big shot with a broken stick, who usually needed to be treated with respect.

Especially this person is Mi Ke.

In fact, many people know that officials like Mi Ke who were transferred from the local area to Shendu have always been careful with their tail between their legs because they have no backing in the Shendu officialdom. He can do such a thing today. No one can think of it.

The courtiers, especially the civil servants, must have the highest respect for Mr. Zaifu, but here in Mi Ke, he can actually be called an old fool.

However, because of Mi Ke's action, the hall quickly became a mess. Those civil servants were all scholars, and doing things they thought was degrading to politeness, so a scene that made people laugh and cry soon appeared in the hall.

That was Mi Ke holding half a stick and chasing after the civil servants who said they wanted to move the capital.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Mi Ke hunched over and held his stick, looking at the group of courtiers in the distance, breathing heavily, then he looked at the military attachés not far away and shouted: "What are you still doing? Let’s fight together!”

The military attaches looked at each other. Although they were all warriors and had not read many books, they knew where this place was. No matter how angry they were before, they never thought of taking action. But now someone has taken action, even a civil servant. This really makes them Some are eager to try.

However, they still looked at the Crown Prince.

His Royal Highness frowned and just stood here without saying a word.

Maybe he was still thinking about what Mr. Zaifu said, so much so that Mi Ke started beating people and turned a blind eye?

The courtiers had actually been waiting for His Highness the Crown Prince to speak, but they never came.

"Mi Ke, you are also a scholar and an official of the imperial court. Don't do such a disgraceful thing!"

"Mi Ke, you don't want to be an official anymore?!"

"Mi Ke..."

While Mi Ke was breathing heavily, the courtiers began to reprimand the Minister of Household Affairs.

However, Mi Ke ignored him and just murmured: "If I had known earlier, I would have asked that boy from Chen Chao for some martial arts training methods. Otherwise, there would be no need to rest when we beat these guys today."

After saying this, Mi Ke cheered up, shouted, and continued to rush towards the group of courtiers.
